Pear-Almond Cake
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter a springform cake pan.

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract and almond extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, granulated sugar, salt and baking powder. Combine both mixtures, beating briefly, until smooth.

  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Arrange pear slices over the top in a random pattern. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons granulated sugar over pears, then scatter sliced almonds lightly over the surface. Place the dish on a baking sheet.

  4. Bake for about 1 hour, or until nicely browned on top and an inserted cake tester emerges clean. Cool until you can handle the pan. Remove springform, using a butter knife to help release the cake, and let cool completely. (The cake will taste better after several hours and up to 1 day.)

  5. Dust cake very lightly with powdered sugar. Cut wedges and serve directly from the base of the springform (or straight from the pie pan).
